SUMMARY:Color of Education 2025 - Preserving Our Legacy: The Power of The Storie We Carry
DESCRIPTION:The Dudley Flood Center for Educational Equity & Opportunity and the Color of Education Guiding Committee are thrilled to invite you to attend Color of Education 2025. The Annual Color of Education Summit brings together educators\, policymakers\, researchers\, students\, parents\, community members\, and other key stakeholders focused on achieving racial equity and eliminating racial disparities in education.\n\nThis year’s theme centers the belief that legacy is not only preserved in history books or institutions—it lives in the stories we carry and share. Educators\, students\, and communities hold powerful narratives that reflect struggle\, resilience\, joy\, and growth. These stories help us understand identity\, build collective purpose\, and spark transformational change—critical components of an equitable public education system and a healthy democracy.\n\nJoin us for two days of powerful conversations\, community-building\, and storytelling that uplift the people and movements shaping education equity across North Carolina and beyond.

SUMMARY:Educator Screening of American Coup: Wilmington\,1898
DESCRIPTION:Join the UNCW History Department History Teaching Alliance\, FREED Project\, PBS North Carolina\, and Working Films for a screening of American Coup: Wilmington 1898\, a documentary that tells the little-known story of a deadly race massacre and carefully orchestrated insurrection in North Carolina’s largest city in 1898 — the only coup d’état in the history of the US. This screening is part of a statewide effort to better equip educators to share the story of the massacre\, its place in US history\, and its lasting impact.\nAmerican Coup: Wilmington 1898 shares the story of how self-described white supremacists used intimidation and violence to destroy Black political and economic power and overthrow Wilmington’s democratically-elected\, multi-racial government. Black residents were murdered and thousands were banished. The story of what happened in Wilmington was suppressed for decades until descendants and scholars began to investigate. Today\, many of those descendants — Black and white — seek the truth about this intentionally buried history. \nThe screening will include North Carolina 2024 Teacher of the Year\, Kim Jones\, who will speak to available resources for educators to incorporate 1898 into lesson plans. These resources include standards-aligned curriculum for incorporating the film into the classroom\, as well as professional development opportunities for continued support for teachers. Attendees will be provided with documentation for CEUs [Continuing Education Units].   \nA discussion & Q&A will also follow the films featuring: \nLynn Mollenauer\, UNCW\nWhitney Coonradt\, Ashley High School\nSean Stanek\, Holly Shelter Middle School\nCara Ward\, UNCW \nJoin us for this free screening and discussion to learn more about the massacre and coup\, its place in US history\, and its lasting impact. Together\, we can ensure that the lessons of Wilmington’s past inform conversations around democracy today.
